Feedback
“Thank you Caroline! The staff truly enjoyed your session – they came out very energized and excited about the season. I know they will put their knowledge to good use.”
– Lisa Nowlin, Heritage Park
“I really enjoyed the course Artist’s Way; it helped me find my way towards better self awareness. I discovered some attitudes and self talk that were causing me to remain stuck, painfully so.
Caroline has done the course several times and so was able to guide us and keep us growing gently. She was respectful of each of our differences, encouraged us individually and collectively helping us find the strength in each other.
Thanks so much - hope you can make it to my play opening!”
– Karen O'Sullivan Cookson
“Transformed and empowered. That’s how I feel after twelve weeks of The Artist Way. I have grown. I have forgiven and accepted, myself and others. I understand better my motives, desires and talents. Most importantly, I believe in myself and my capabilities. Caroline was an insightful guide, a safe haven, who gently nudged with just the right thought-provoking questions and life-altering assignments”
– Sondra Abbott
